NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-387 and 50-388]

 
Pennsylvania Power and Light Company; Notice of Issuance of 
Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 179 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-14 and 
Amendment No. 152 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-22 issued to 
Pennsylvania Power and Light Company (the licensee), which revised the 
Facility Operating Licenses for operation of the Susquehanna Steam 
Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, located in Luzerne County, 
Pennsylvania. The amendments are effective as of date of issuance.
    The amendments authorize changes to the Final Safety Analysis 
Report to incorporate the increases in the main steam line radiation 
monitor setpoint and allowable values and the change to the design 
basis of the offgas system to a detonation resistant design.
    The application for the amendments complies with the standards and 
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made 
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules 
and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license 
amendments.
    A notice was published in the Federal Register on May 20,1998 (63 
FR 27764). No request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene 
was filed following this notice.
    The Commission has prepared an Environmental Assessment related to 
the action and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact 
statement. Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has 
concluded that the issuance of the amendment will not have a 
significant effect on the quality of the human environment (63 FR 
54738).
    For further details with respect to the action see (1) the 
application for amendment dated March 16, 1998, as supplemented by 
letters dated May 22, August 10, and September 17, 1998, and also by

NPF-14 and Amendment No. 152 to License No. NPF-22, (3) the

document room located at the Osterhout Free Library, Reference 
Department, 71 South Franklin, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day of October 1998.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
